Mohammad Nuru

Mohammad Nuru was born on January 1, 1980, in Kulkaari village, Damudya Upazila, Shariatpur district. His father was Ali Ullah and his mother was Asia Khatun. Mohammad Nuru lost his father at a young age, bringing sorrow to the family. In order to make a better living, Nuru moved to Dhaka at an early age. He worked at a clothing store to support his own and his family's expenses. Later, he started his own business selling clothes from a rickshaw. His wife, Johura, worked in a garment factory. About a year ago, Nuru took a loan of 3 lakh taka to go abroad to improve his life. He lived happily with his wife Johura and their 22-year-old son, Mohammad Imon. However, his life took a tragic turn when the quota movement started, and he became a Shaheed. For those who can barely afford two meals a day, worrying about the country's politics is a luxury. Their lives are inextricably linked with the environment and circumstances of the country. Due to the movement, his business came to a halt, and he was forced to return home empty-handed every day. He could hardly manage to feed his family. Meanwhile, the police were indiscriminately killing people during the movement. Yet, driven by the need to feed his family, Nuru risked his life and went out onto the streets. There, he was attacked by Awami terrorists and subsequently was shot. He lost his life in the process. It was as though he sacrificed his life while trying to save it.
Family Situation
Losing his father at a young age, Shaheed Nuru Mia entered the struggle for survival. Without any wealth or property left by his father, life became increasingly difficult. To earn a living, he moved to Dhaka and rented a house with his family. His wife started working in a garment factory, while he took up work at a clothing store. After some time, he began his own clothing business with a rickshaw. However, financial hardship never left his family. Due to this, he decided to send his unemployed son abroad and took a loan of 3 lakh taka for this purpose. Following his death, a shadow of grief fell over his family, and creditors began to pressure them. At this moment, the family has no means to repay the debt. Nuru Mia's son remains unemployed, and for now, the responsibility of providing for the family rests on his wife, who earns only eight thousand taka per month. With the burden of the loan on their shoulders, the family is living a very difficult life.
The Incident of Martyrdom
On July 19, clashes occurred between students and members of the police, BGB, and RAB in all parts of Dhaka. The unarmed protesting students were indiscriminately shot by the police. The murderous police, along with the terrorist groups of the Awami League, Youth League, and Student League, targeted the students and public, throwing tear gas, rubber bullets, buckshot, blank shots, grenades, bombs, etc. That day, the Uttara area of the capital turned into a battlefield. Police deployed armored vehicles and modern weapons. Not only that, but the dictator’s helicopter and high-rise buildings were used to attack with modern weapons. As usual, on that day, Shaheed Mohammad Nuru was selling clothes behind North Tower in the House Building area of Uttara. At that moment, he became a target of the terrorist Chhatra League. Amidst the chaos of people running around, Mohammad Nuru also became scared. Leaving his rickshaw behind, he ran, only to come face-to-face with the police. The police, obedient to the Awami government, shot Nuru at point-blank range. A bullet struck his head, blowing off his skull. He collapsed at the scene with a scream. The terrorist police fired three more shots into his lifeless body. His body was later taken to Uttara Modern Hospital, but by that time, he was already dead.
